## Summary

Amazon describes a shared taxonomy of agentic primitives used in Amazon Quick, organized around four questions: When, What, Who, and How. Triggers start work, agents act as persistent, learning actors, and capabilities such as tools, skills, and workflows determine how an agent acts. The post is the first in a series.
